Found a sample on you tube and here for a demo

You just climb up and jam knives between the keys like Keith Emerson

Atlantic city. New Jersey

Apparently the internal bits ie pipes, plumbing etc weigh 150 tons and there are 33,112 organ pipes

I rather like



T&F was on the first LP I bought when I was twelve, fifty six years ago.

My brother, not known for his appreciation of classical masterpieces bought this version

Pah....now THIS is organ playing

As a choirboy I was relieved from singing duties to manually pump the organ during a power failure.

Although Bach's T & F is very good, I prefer Widor's toccata
-

Just when you think the note can't get any lower, down it goes again & if the organ & acoustics are right, the pews should rattle.

A late friend told me he was walking down the street one day during WW2 (he came from Lancashire, so it was up that way somewhere) when he heard an organ playing Widor's Toccata. He rounded the corner to see the church with its roof blown off - the organist was still playing.

For the people that play these machines, Talent is too short a word.

I was very impressed with this beast at Hallsgrimmkirkja in Reykjavik. Unfortunately I missed a recital by one day.

Strange Bod that I am, I used to quite enjoy listening to Nigel Ogden's "The organist entertains" on Radio 2, every Friday night as I was delivering curries for my mate's restaurant in Billericay.
The enthusiasm and knowledge the chap had was amazing!

Recently had the pleasure of attending my daughter's graduation at Westminster Cathedral. The organ there is pretty impressive. The low notes especially reverberate right through you!
